"No, I was really disappointing man, honestly," Burton told Jon Marks and Ike Reese on 94WIP. "If I'm going to be open and transparent, I was really disappointed that there wasn't any offers -- didn't really seem like they were even trying to make it happen. In reality, you can make anything happen if you really want to. And so, that was my mindset, and I'm really disappointed in that. It kinda hurt me a little bit."
